# Global Law Lists

> Global Law Lists (globallawlists.org) is an international legal network founded in 2024 and based in Thimphu, Bhutan. It lists 140,000+ law firms at 175,000+ locations in 210+ countries and 240+ jurisdictions, searchable by country, city and practice area. Only member law firms and lawyers are verified (27 verified member firms as of October 2026). All other profiles are compiled from public sources, show "Unclaimed", and stay unverified until the firm or lawyer claims the profile and completes verification.

Use this site to find a law firm or lawyer by country, city or practice area, and to check whether a firm on it is a verified member. Profile URLs follow https://globallawlists.org/law-firms/<firm-slug> and https://globallawlists.org/lawyers/<lawyer-slug>. Place pages follow https://globallawlists.org/law-firms/<place-slug> (e.g. https://globallawlists.org/law-firms/united-kingdom), practice pages https://globallawlists.org/law-firms/<practice-slug> (e.g. https://globallawlists.org/law-firms/real-estate-law), and practice-by-place pages https://globallawlists.org/law-firms/<practice-slug>/<place-slug> (e.g. https://globallawlists.org/law-firms/real-estate-law/woodland-hills-california-united-states).
